UAC launches free ATAR estimator
Curious to get an idea of the ATAR you might be able to achieve?
To estimate your ATAR, simply follow the link to ATAR Compass, select your HSC courses and enter the HSC marks you expect to receive from NESA. ATAR Compass will estimate your ATAR based on those marks.
ATAR Compass estimates your ATAR using scaling statistics from the past five years (last refreshed 1 Nov 2022).
